Amtrak blows


So... I missed my train to Philly (by 1 minute) & traded my ticket in for the next available train. Got a "Business Class" seat, as it was merely $1 more than my Acela ticket. Walked the length of the train to "Business Class" which was just the same as every other car. The conductor asked me "Business class?" I responded, "Yes, but it looks the same as all the others." His response? "Well if it looks the same, then it's the same." Thanks. Glad I spent the extra money.

Also currently enjoying an uncontrollable sneezing fit / allergy attack. Why, in the wealthiest nation on earth, do we have to suffer an incredibly disappointing rail system? FRANCE has us beat by miles... Unacceptable.
